 FRIDAY, March II.
 The Fourteenth Legislative Assembly closed is labor about daylight this morning. after an all night session ID 10th houses.
 During the early evening hours and in fact until after midnight the council chamber and assembly hall were both graced with the presence of number ladies. The appropriation billeame into the council, from the committee, about half past seven o'clock, with great number of amendments, rccommended' all of which were adopted The amend ments in every case were to increase the appropriation as passed by the house, by inserting new clauses in many instances and in others increasing the amounts inserted by the house. On the return of the bill to the house the amendments were rejected by an almost unanimous vote with very few exceptions, almost as soon as read, the ayes and uayes icing called for only in one or two instances.
 The delay oI the governor in sending in his nominations for territorial officers was the subject of considerable comment The rumor hai been current for two days previous, that C. B. Foster would be nominated for treasurer and H. I, Andrews for auditor, both being mem bers ci the legislature. The rumor was also current that six councilmen were pledged 10 vote against the eonfrma- ton of any member Of the legislature for any position. Ro.h these rumors seemed to be founded on good authority IL was predicted by some that no nomina- tions wouii be made until after the lerisiature adjourned, while on the c-.rcr hand it was argued that this would virtually allow the old officers to ho,I over for two years more. Others predicted that dummy appointments would be made.
 About ten o'clock while the house had the appropriation bill under considera- sion, message from the governor was announced, which proved to be the long delayed nominations and were as fol- lows: auditor, lingo Richards treasurer. J. H. Marion; commissioner of immigra- ton, Cameron H. King; adJutant general, J. F. Meador. The Courier in speaking Of tue nonaination of it's editor to the position of treasurer says, cit Is. tlais night of March 10th. 1887, his set .-.pur2ose to decline the office of treasurer. " The belief was freely expressed last even tug by many, that neither Mr- King or Nr. Richards would eyer fill the offices to which they were appointed, or fl they qualify ct all. their term of service wlh te shost. Should such surmises prove aue new appointments will of course have to te made. In such- an event, efAuld the members above named, be ayTAated it viii only verify the correct uessf the guekses and rumors hereto fore entionsa
